Steve, looks good, since I am here all week by myself that is about all that I am eating. The girls are down to the Outer Banks North Carolina for vacation.

2-1/2 lb ribeye
Fresh morels
Reconstituted porcini mushrooms, onions, and garlic in a mushroom wine broth.

Grilled zucchini too but that didn't make the camera roll

Those shrooms look fantastic. I've been experimenting with growing some of my own. You can get a block of hay (sort of) wrapped in plastic from the garden centers here. You wet it and in a few days, you've got mushrooms growing. Great pan fried and grilled. I think they were a King Oyster strain.

Looked like this...

How you go about aging

How you go about aging

See page 78 of the grilling thread, post 1545.
I buy a whole primal of whatever I'm aging.
It goes on a baking sheet in the vegetable drawer of my pantry fridge. While I'm aging meat in the drawer, nothing else goes in.
I let it air dry for what ever period of time I decide. 21 days is about right for good results. The last one I did went 35 days. It was extremely tender and was starting to acquire a flavor reminiscent of blue cheese.
Unless you're serving the meat to people who appreciate things a bit on the funky side, stick to 21-24 days. It produces a tender end product and there isn't a change in flavor.

Everything under water here, A 4 wheeler floated down the creek yesterday, from over half mile away. And water went into cab of big John Deere tractor and over top of John Deere bean drill. Huge amounts of water here! I am over 60 years old, and have never seen anything like this before. Robert and I checked the creeks and water gates today with the gator, and we have never seen the water across the bottoms like this before. I have huge oak and sycamore trees down in the bottoms now. I will try to get pics.

Edit. there are no more water gates! As they are gone!

Damn Charlie, I'm really sorry to hear about all the water.
I was hoping that crap was behind you and things were looking up.

Pretty bad floods here, one little creak has washed out so bad that we cant cross it with the hay wagons, We need to move several hundred bales of hay yet.

Evening fellas...haven’t posted over here in a little while but do check in and look at the groceries and read all posts. Ready for something fried so I sentenced my last green tomato, last two little squash, and six center cut chops to a 350 deg peanut oil, deep fryer bath. Some good eats. And of course...washed down with about half a gal of milk.
